Plasma level of cyclophilin A is increased in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and suggests presence of vascular disease
2014
Aims/hypothesis
Cyclophilin A, an immunophilin is secreted from human monocytes activated by high glucose. Given its role as an inflammatory mediator of vascular tissue damage associated with inflammation and oxidative stress, we examined plasma levels of cyclophilin A in normal healthy volunteers and patients with type 2 diabetes (DM), with or without coronary artery disease (CAD).
